> that is almost certainly going to require humans to review the complaint
The solution that I'm proposing does not. At least, not YouTube employees. It would work like this:
1. Offer "the claimant doesn't have copyright for that audio" as one of the options.
2. You supply the proof of this (as it already works)
3. The claimant reviews this proof (as it already works) In my case, it's going to their own website and seeing that they are claiming rights on a public domain music.
4. The claimant releases the claim
5. YouTube marks that the claimant has no rights over that audio and they cannot pester anyone else with that. This would only work if I select that they don't own the copyright in the first step, and they acknowledge it themselves in step 4.
Basically, all it changes is adding one more checkbox when fighting a claim and aftermath that the claimant has confirmed themselves that they don't actually own copyright to that work.
